After loading Mavericks, I can't see/open attached pdf files

after loading OS X Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I can't see/open attached pdf files. I've checked my Security Preferences in Safari and Enable Java Script and Allow Plug-Ins are both selected. Any ideas as to what I need to do???

I checked as you noted above - this is what comes up
Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.7
so I assume (?) that it is installed.
I just went into my hydro bill and tried to open the pdf version and, low and behold, it opened. So somewhere in between when I reinstalled it yesterday (after your suggestion) and just now, it is working!!!
So thank-you for your help!!. Cheers.

According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

Thank you Pat,
I have already been there done that. I first Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
Thanks for the suggestion.
Sincerely,

Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
 Cheers, Tom

Why can't I open new PDF files into iBooks

I cannot open new PDF files in iBooks, they flash really quick in PDF folder then disappear. I'm really frustrated

How can I retain the attached .pdf files (displayed as icons) from my word file 2010 to a pdf file?

Hi everybody,
I have looked for an answer in this forum ... without any good result.
I worked on a Word 2010 file with some attached pdf files. These attached files are displayed as icons on the word file. If you double click on them, you can consult them. This works very good.
Problem: I would like to convert this word 2010 file into a pdf file, which keeps the icons (linked to attached files) active. If I "pdf" this with my current system, icons are displayed as pictures: I cannot open the attached files.
My question is very simple: is it possible to retain these active icons (= to open attached documents) in a pdf file? Which adobe package should I use?
Many thanks for your help
cheers

No, it's not possible, but I agree it would be a very nice feature.

Why can't I open any pdf files with any version of Adobe Reader after I upgraded?

Upgraded Adobe Reader not too long ago and after then it stopped opening pdf files. I had an old version of Adobe Acrobat and that opened the file no problem. I tried to downgrade Adobe Reader, but that didn't fix the problem.
Just tried to open Adobe Reader by itself without any files and it still crashed.
FYI – I’m using Windows 7 (Microsoft 2013)

It's not a good idea to have both Acrobat and Reader unless they're both of the same version number (like X or XI). Such a situation can cause all kinds of conflicts and crashes, as you've seen. Also, if you have an old version of Acrobat it's might not be compatible with your OS any more.

Can't Open attached PDF file saved from my Outlook mail.

I have this problem:
I'm using Acrobat Reader 9.1 and I've never had this probblem .Cane you halp me?

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

Can no longer open existing pdf files

My adobe free reader program has recently become very slow and fairly non-responsive lately. I use PDFCreator Plus for printing. When I attempted to print a PDF to the PDFCreator Plus today (as I've done for years) when the reader was opening files so slowly, it changed all of my Adobe PDF's to PDFCreator Plus files. It allowed me to switch them back, but now I cannot open any existing or newly created files. I have thousand's of pdf's. I have since loaded Foxit because I run two businesses and can't work without access to my pdf's. I would like to use Adobe again but need to know what to do to regain the ability to utilize the program and open my pdf's once again. I use Adobe's Free Reader with latest version 11.0.07 downloaded May 22, 2014.

PDF Creator Plus combines a virtual printer with a preview application that displays your printed document before the PDF is created. I use it with the proposal software at my office. It's a program that is less costly than Adobe.
Cannot means I can't? When I click on a pdf, nothing happens. Nothing opens. I need to be able to access my pdf's in order to work expeditiously. My proposal and accounting files are mostly in pdf's. I downloaded Foxit but using Foxit is an onerous task.
I am not sure what happened, but when I was trying to open some files from my accountant today to view in Adobe Reader, the pdf's became non-responsive. When I clicked on an existing file, somehow it changed every Adobe pdf to a PDF Creator Plus pdf document. I could right-click and choose to switch back to Adobe pdf's , but when I did, something really went awry, and now nothing happens at all when I click any pdf's (and they appear as regular Adobe files).
Again, I can open them in Foxit, but if I save them again, they are still useless unless I remain in the Foxit program.

Can't see my iPad PDF files in iTunes

Since the new update I have a problem. I can see the PDF's in my iPad, but when I connect the iPad to my Mac I cannot see them in iTunes. I can see my old books and PDF's just fine, but when I tried to drop a new PDF file into the book category of my connected iPad via iTunes it doesn't show up on the latter. It shows up on the iPad after a while, but I can't see it in iTunes. Any ideas what could be the problem?
And is it possible to change the information of the books (Title, author,...) in the new ibooks app on Mac?

Are you saying that when you connect your iPad to your computer an application starts on your computer to download photos? This is how you copy photos from your Camera Roll on your iPad to your computer. You may have the photo capture application to run automatically when a camera is connected to your computer. Your iPad is recognized as a camera and this is normal behavior depending on the settings on your computer.
You can either change the settings to not have the image capture application run automatically or you can just quit that application manually. You might want to copy the photos to your computer first so as to have a backup of the photos.
If you quit the image capture application you can then run iTunes. I suggest, in iTunes that you use the View menu to View Sidebar. Your iPad will then appear in the left sidebar of iTunes. Select your iPad in the left Sidebar of iTunes and then you will be ps enter with a row of tabs allowing various choices.

I can no longer open any pdf files.

As of yesterday, pdf's don't open! I've tried the latest Adobe Reader, Preview, and Safari. Never had this problem before. I've reinstalled Reader and restarted my computer (running OSX 10.8.3), no help. This problem is true for my new and old pdf's. The message I get in all cases is "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Any ideas? Is there a pdf destroyer virus out there running on Macs?

Set Preview as your preferred app to open PDF files. Click once on any PDF and Get Info (command i).
Towards the bottom of the info widow, Open With:
Choose Preview, then click on Change All...
To download a PDF from a website, right click (control click) on the link and Save Linked File As... and Preview (instead of Adobe) will download it. Save to any convenient location. Then you can open it in Preview with a double click.
You can still use Adobe Reader by right click and Open With...
Bonus: Preview has a smoother scroll than Adobe.
Keep Adobe because its Flash Player will show web videos.

Ian.

Why can i not open certain pdf files?

I am having a problem opening pdfs. I have tried several times to open a pdf from my school but it gives me a blank page but no text. Other pdf documents open fine. I contacted tech support for the school and they checked document and were able to open and view it. I have a Surface with Adobe Reader Touch installed on it. I now have 3 pdfs I can not read or print.

Not many details about anything... It's may be that those files were damaged in transit; PDFs do not seem very fond of travelling through the Internet.
